EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Edo Bridge and Nihon Bridge in the Eastern Capital (Toto Edobashi Nihonbashi)" from the series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fuji sanjurokkei)," dates back to 1852. This exquisite piece of art is a testament to the artistic prowess of the renowned Japanese artist, Hiroshige I, also known as Ando Hiroshige and Hiroshige Utagawa. The print showcases the breathtaking view of two bridges, Edo Bridge and Nihon Bridge, crossing the Nihonbashi River in the Eastern Capital of Japan, now known as Tokyo. The estuary area is depicted with a serene atmosphere, as the sun casts a warm glow on the landscape. The female figure in traditional attire, standing on the left bank of the river, adds a sense of scale and human presence to the scene. The iconic Mount Fuji, or Fugaku, can be seen in the background, partially obscured by the mist, emphasizing its majestic presence. The intricate details of the bridges, the rippling water, and the calligraphy on the cartouche are all executed with masterful precision. The print is a chuban size, measuring 18 x 25.5 cm, and its rich, earthy colors have retained their vibrancy over the centuries. This woodblock print is a significant piece of Asian art history, representing the Edo period's (1603-1868) cultural heritage. It is an essential addition to any collection of Asian art, showcasing the beauty of Japan's geographical features and the skill of its artistic school. The print is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
